[Hypothermia and polytrauma. A case report (28 degrees C)].
In a 29-year-old polytraumatised motorbike driver, massive blood transfusion led to a decrease of the body temperature to 28.1 degrees C rectal on the second day after admission. We could rewarm the patient using only a Clinitron bed, although he had persisting blood loss due to an intravasal coagulopathy. This method has proven to be noninvasive, effective and without any side effects.
